BILL BLOG Monday November 3, 2025   Monday morning, and here we are…November. And to kick off my November, my bag and guitar are once again packed for a road trip to Raleigh, North Carolina. More on that at the end of today’s Blog.   63 for the high today here in Nashville. Same high in Raleigh.   THE WEEKEND Friday morning, I finished up a great bluegrass song with Jerry Salley and Alex Miller at my publishing company Billy Blue. We had a lot of this written, but ran out of time to finish it when we started it a couple of months before.   Jerry Salley has had as many bluegrass cuts as anybody in town, and he hers this song for a big-name bluegrass artist that all three of us love, and he’s going to send the song to him. Here’s hoping he loves it as much as we do, but if he passes, at the very least it will be a song that Jerry records…and that ain’t half bad either.      SATURDAY I made a trip south to Pulaski, T...

BILL BLOG Friday, October 31, 2025    It’s Friday morning, it’s Halloween, and it’s the last day of October…already. 62 for the high today in Nashville, and we will sneak back into the low 70’s this weekend. Not bad.   YESTERDAY Lazy Wednesday at the Whyte House, but I did cross off a couple of overdue “gotta do” things on that long list of “gotta do”. That’s pretty much the end of those kinds of days for the next couple of weeks, with a show on Saturday night, and then a long road trip taking me to North Carolina, to Georgia, and back to Gulf Shores again.   WEIRD On X today, some users nominated my song “ The Dipstick Song ” as “Song of the Year”. And I don’t know the person from Adam. But somehow, they found that song from my album “ Off The Wall ” and posted that thought on X. That’s a first.   That song is all about the high price of gas. And right now, gas prices are coming down, so it’s a bit of odd timing. But, I’m flat...

BILL BLOG Thursday October 30, 2025   And here comes the last Thursday of the month. Hard to believe that Halloween is tomorrow. 56 for the high here in Nashville today.   MELISSA As of now, 30 people are reported to be dead after what weather folks are calling the “Storm of the Century” came ashore in Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti. Unreal damage from this Cat 4-5 hurricane.   YESTERDAY Last evening, I played a little house concert with my friends Linda Davis , Lang Scott , Bobby Tomberlin , and Tess Frizzell for those sponsors and folks who donate to Mercy Chefs . Mercy Chefs provides 5-star food to disaster workers and those in need. The folks who started this great organization, Gary and Ann LeBlanc , were not there last night, and that’s because they are already on the way to Jamaica to feed folks there.   We had a little of that food ourselves before we started entertaining the guests.   Lang and Linda’s daughter, ...
